Suggest Treatment For Chronic Pin Worm Infection
SO MY 11 YEARS OLD WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PINWORM ON WEDNESDAY… WE TREATED HER WITH 400MG ALBENZA WEDS. AFTERNOON… THAT NIGHT THERE WERE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORMS NEAR HER ANUS SO WE GAVE HER A PEDIATRIC FLEET ENEMA. ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THERE WERE NO WORMS PRESENT NEAR HER ANUS… TONIGHT SATURDAY I JUST CHECKED AND THERE WERE 4-5 WORMS PRESENT. I AM NOT SURE IF THEY WERE ALIVE BUT I AM ASSUMING THEY MUST HAVE BEEN TO GET OUT OF HER RECTUM. SHOULD I REPEAT THE ENEMA? I THOUGHT THAT THE ALBENZA WOULD HAVE KILLED ALL THE LIVE BUGS BY NOW. ALSO SHOULD I GIVE HER A DOSE OF PIN-X WHICH I PURCHASED SINCE MY 3 YEAR OLD WOULD NOT SWALLOW THE ALBENZA TABLET.

Yes you can give PIN x chewable tablets. Repeated enema is not necessitated because remaining Worms would come out having been paralyzed.
